Using include in recipes/default.rb(continues from former article)

In below article, I used role to install java and tomcat together.

http://wnapdlf.blogspot.kr/2014/01/using-role-to-install-tomcat-recipe.html

We can install java and tomcat using attributes/default.rb also

1.First
root@knife2:/home/young/chef-repo# vi cookbooks/java/attributes/default.rb

default["java"]["java_home"] = "/usr/local/java"

2. Second
Comment out  on line include_recipe "java"

root@knife2:/home/young/chef-repo# vi cookbooks/tomcat/recipes/default.rb 

# required for the secure_password method from the openssl cookbook

::Chef::Recipe.send(:include, Opscode::OpenSSL::Password)

include_recipe "java"

3. Change JAVA_HOME 
root@knife2:/home/young/chef-repo# vi cookbooks/tomcat/templates/default/default_tomcat6.erb 

# The home directory of the Java development kit (JDK). You need at least

# JDK version 1.5. If JAVA_HOME is not set, some common directories for

# OpenJDK, the Sun JDK, and various J2SE 1.5 versions are tried.

JAVA_HOME=<%= node["java"]["java_home"] %>

4. Upload recipe

root@knife2:/home/young/chef-repo# knife cookbook upload java tomcat

Uploading java           [0.1.0]

Uploading tomcat         [0.15.2]

Uploaded 2 cookbooks.

root@knife2:/home/young/chef-repo# 

5. Now let's test.

root@chef-client1:~# rm -rf /usr/local/java; apt-get -y purge tomcat6

root@chef-client1:~# chef-client -o tomcat

Omitting..blah blah blah

6. Conclusion
I could install java and tomcat without new role.
First, edit attributes/default.rb of java recipe.
Second, just use the tomcat recipe from community site as it is.

Thanks for reading. Any comments or recommendation is welcome.
